The property
Brankstone Grange Castle is a stunning residential estate believed to date from around 1864 and was designed by David Bryce of Edinburgh, with later additions by Sir R R Anderson. The property is a handsome stone-built baronial mansion with a feature castellated tower, in total offering almost 11,000 sq. ft. of light-filled accommodation arranged predominantly over three floors and with a further two floors in the tower. The current owners have undertaken a major renovation of the castle and it is now suitable for a variety of uses including family home or other commercial uses.

The ground floor accommodation includes stunning reception rooms and modern kitchen with the bedrooms split over the top floors. There is a basement.

On the first floor the property provides a large principal bedroom with a feature corner turret, fireplace and spacious contemporary en suite bathroom, seven further double bedrooms, two with feature corner turrets and several with original fireplaces, and an office, together with a modern family shower room and a family bathroom. The property’s five remaining rooms and a shower room can be found in the upper two floors of the tower.

Cottage
The cottage is a traditional Grade C listed stone and slate lodge with a more recent extension however the building is uninhabitable and in need of total refurbishment.

Outside
The property is approached over a tarmac driveway with turning circle offering private parking for multiple vehicles. The parkland garden surrounding the house, a particular feature of this property, is laid mainly to level lawn interspersed with mature specimen trees and features a 2.5 acres walled garden, numerous seating areas and an extensive paved terrace. The whole property is screened by mature trees and enjoying far-reaching views over neighbouring countryside. There is a field to the west extending to about 19 acres. To the east of the castle is a range of garages and stores which house the biomass boiler.

Previously planning permission (Ref 05/02354/WOPP, 08/02406/WFULL and 09/00236/WFULL) was granted to allow the property to be developed into an exciting residential and leisure estate. Recently this permission has be altered for the construction of 15 luxury chalets (Ref 14/01476/FULL).
